Help!!! I’ve been putting my alocasias in water to transition them to pon . It’s been going just fine until today I noticed the tip of a few of the corms are rotting. My Variegated frydek, Polly, Silver Dragon, and Dragons Breath all are having this issue. For now I put less water in so it doesn’t touch the rotten bottom of the corm. Except the Veriegated frydek, I put that one in a mix of fluval stratum, pon, & perlite. Should I take it out and place it in water too with the water not touching the very bottom? Problem is the plant is very tall and I’m not sure how to keep it from touching the water! It only has one leaf so nothing will grip to the jar I use, it will just fall straight in. Any info would be great because I have read numerous places that alocasia do not rot in water! I’m so frustrated.

      Here’s an example of one…. The red spot on the bottom is where part of the corm rotted in water. I don’t understand why because I’ve always read alocasia don’t rot in water. This is the dragons breath. I have another in pon that looks to be doing ok, I see water roots with it and it just put out a beautiful new leaf. This one put out a new leaf too but it’s deformed and won’t open all the way
